I was freakin' dumbfounded.

I don't even know how to react after what he said. "Hindi yung tatanggap ka ng gatorade sa ibang lalake" what the heck. Really? I was having second thoughts nga of getting it. How dare him for saying those words infront of me.

"Uy girl!" Claire tapped me.

"What?" I asked her.

"Grabe ka! Dalawang lalake na 'yan ha." Dani said. "Napaka chicks talaga tong manok namin."

"Whatever." I just rolled my eyes at them.

I went home after a very long day. Grabe! Training was light today. I don't know why. Siguro sinapian lang ng kabutihan si coach at binalak niyang mag light training ngayon.

I entered our house and i heard a couple of voices sa dining hall namin.

"Really? Your parents run a travel agency?"

I heard mom. May bisita kami? Usually mom will inform me kapag may bisita kami. Howcome hindi niya sinabi sa akin.

"Yes po. It is located po sa binondo."

Wait, is that tyler's voice?! I walked near our
divider na nagbloblock sa dining hall namin. I took a peek and it was tyler nga.

What the heck? Anong ginagawa niya dito? Ano yon, pagkatapos niya na kuwanin gatorade ko, makikikain pa siya dito?  So grr talaga with two letter r

"Sige, we're planning to go to korea. Gusto kasi pumunta ni ishia sa everland." Sabi ni mommy. "Parang bata eh, she really likes going to amusement parks."

"I remember when we went to Disneysea and Disneyland sa Japan." Kwento ni vince.

Oh no, don't tell me papahiyain ako ni vince? Malalagot talaga siya sa akin kapag pinahiya niya ako. "Achi's reaction was priceless. She cried when during the night parade. I think she's just happy because hindi niya na- experience yung pag punta sa mga ganong entertainment area nung bata siya." Vince said.

Yeah. That's true. When i was a child, i usually ask mom and dad to go to disneyland. Lahat naman tayo pinangarap 'yon diba? Pumunta sa Hong Kong disneyland. Pero since dad has a heavy metal hand, hindi siya pumapayag.

Pero since mom would love to travel, siyempre nung naghiwalay na sila ng dad ko, nag start na kami mag out of the country  trips.

Lumapit na ako sa kanila so that they know na i am already here. Ang panget naman diba if naka stand by lang ako sa may divider namin, listening to their conversation at nag mumukhang spy ako don.

"Hey mom." I walked toward my mother and i gave her a kiss sa cheek niya.

"Oh gosh! Anong oras ka na dumating! Tignan mo yung bisita mo pa yung nauna kaysa sa'yo! Mahiya ka naman ishia!" Mom said. Lowkey sinersermonan na ako ng nanay ko.

"Bisita ko? Eh hindi ko nga alam na pupunta siya dito eh!" Sabi ko kay mommy matter of factly. I don't have any idea na tyler is going here, sa bahay namin.

Well first, hindi naman kami talaga close nitong so tyler. Mukha lang close pero hindi talaga.

"Really? Go check your messenger and viber. I texted you." Tyler butted in.

Really? May confidence pa siyang maki butt in sa conversation namin ni mommy. Super feeling close na siya ah. As if part talaga siya ng family namin. 

Bakit? Gusto mo naman rin naman maging part si tyler ng family niyo soon ah?

i shook my head and rolled my eyes. What the heck ishia! Anong klaseng thought yon? Huwag masyadong marupok!

I checked my phone and my eyes widened. Totoo nga, may mga unread messages ako kay tyler. Goddammit, i feel so guilty putting my phone on a silent mode and being too serious on not checking my phone. 

"Sorry." Mahinahong sabi ko kay tyler. "I was so busy a while ago. kaya hindi ko na nabuksan yung phone ko." 

Well that's even true. I was too concentrated na ma- ace ko yung exams ko this second semester. Gusto ko maging proud sa akin si mommy at gusto ko i-prove sa sarili ko na yung achievements na nagagawa ko dito sa ateneo ay magagawa ko rin if ever na nakapasa ako sa new york university. 

"okay. maiwan na namin kayo ni vince dito." Umalis na sila mommy at si vince kaya naiwan nalang kaming dalawa ni tyler dito sa dining hall. 

"So anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ko kay tyler. 

"mangungutang." sarcastic na sagot ni tyer. really? all this time may gana parin siyang sumagot ng sarcastic sa akin?

"really? christian tyler tio? mangungutang?" i chuckled. "may restaurant na nga, madami pang family business tapos mangungutang pa? teka lang tyler, masyado kang pa-yaman." sabi ko. 

tyler smirked as if may evil plans siya. "woah there. ishia alexandria lim knows we have a family business like managing our restaurant." tyler said. "iba talaga noh kapag may nagkaka crush sa akin noh? Ang daming alam. Siguro kulang nalang alamin mo kung ano kulay ng toothbrush naming magkakapatid." 

"Baliw ka talaga." i rolled my eyes. "Nakita ko lang yon sa ig mo. At doon sa mga pinagtatag sa'yo ng family mo sa facebook." sabi ko. 

"palusot pa more." tyler whispered. 

i clenched my fist and looked at him with anger. napipikon na talaga ako kay tyler.I swear. Kanina pa ako nang gigil dito kay tyler. 

"woah. chill." tyler said. "fine. i'm here because i need your help." sabi niya.

"I need your help. I don't get the lesson sa Rigid body kinetics with plane motion." kinamot niya ang batok niya. "can you help me?"

"ayoko. inaasar mo ko eh."

Lumuhod siya sa harap ko at nagmamakaawa. "Sige na please. May exam na kami bukas dito. I don't want to fail. Ayokong i-alis ni coach tab sa filoil lineup. Ang galing ko kayang maglaro. Naka three times na akong best player of the game huhuhu ishia please help me." Nagmamakaawang sabi ni tyler. Nag fake cry pa ang mokong at nagpout siya. 

"Stand up." tumayo naman agad si tyler. 

"I'm going to help you." tipid na sabi ko. 

lumawak naman ang giti ni tyler at he hugged me so tight. woah. i wasn't expecting that.

ako na nag initiate na i-end yung hug naming dalawa. Masyado akong mahahalata na im enjoying that scenario if hindi ako bumitaw sa yakap. 

"come. let's go upstairs. don nalang kita turuan."

TYLER

Sa wakas. may pov na ulit ako. thanks author. 

Ishia was teaching teaching me how to get the acceleration of the block and how to find the alpha of a particular letter. 

While i was tutored by this girl,na- realize ko, all in one na siya. Kasi tignan mo, she's family oriented, mabait, masipag and matalino pa. Bonus nalang kapag athlete siya and same kayo ng interests. 

while she's doing my worksheets, i grabbed my phone and took a picture of her. stolen. take note, stolen. 

After taking a picture, i posted it sa twitter. 

@Tyler_Tio: Tutor for today. Thanks teacher! I learned alot po today! @IshiaLim34 (insert pic)

after a few minutes, madami na agad nagreply. 

@ShaunIldefonso:grabe naman! Iba ka talaga. 

@mamuinthesea: Kaya pala naka three time best player of the game...

@ThirdyRavenaaa: bilis ng speed ah. Mas mabilis pa kaysa pldt namin. 

@bigmikenieto: nahiya ka pa paps. sabihin mo lang, mas pagong ka pa kaysa kay rookie natin. HAHAHAHAHAH

I was laughing at their replies, pero i got offended too when some supporters of ateneo were bashing ishia. Some are saying 'dreila parin'. Pero wala eh, eto talaga buhay mo kapag sikat ka. Isang movement mo palang, alam na ng buong tao. 

"Uy tama na yan. Eto na yung reviewers mo." She handed me her reviewer na ginawa niya." Sige na, sagutan mo na yan. Para mamaya i'll check kung tama and para makatulog na rin ako."

"By the way, i'll just get coffee for us two. Mukhang inaantok ka na." Bumaba na siya agd habang ako, nagsimua na magsagot ng mga word problems.

Last night was okay and i was happy. Happy na maka tulong indeed. 

Papasok na ako sa blue ealgle gym pero hinarang ako nila cacee at ni claire. 

"idol paturo naman oh!" sabi ni claire

"ako rin idol!" 

napatawa naman ako. so nakita pala nila yung tweet ni tyler last night?

i didn't react nalang kasi ayokong mapalaki yung issue. 

nagstart na yung training. the whole team gathered sa bench. May sasabihin daw si coach. 

"So ladies, i have an announcement to make." sabi ni coach. 

"i was about to post the final lineup of the team, pero since coach andrea and i were on the volleyball game of cob, i asked a one student to join our team. And the good thing, she said yes." sabi ni coach. 

"so everyone, welcome dreila mendoza to our team." sabi ni coach. 

Napatingin naman lahat sa kanya at napangiti. 

i didn't know na marunong pala siya mag volleyball. all i know about her is that ex siya ni tyler and wala akong plano na i-stalk siya or know a couple of information about her. 

our coach ordered us to jog around the court. And so we did. Nag form kami ng line habang nagjojog. 

Habang, nagjojog ako, may sumiko sa hips ko and when i turned, it was dreila. What the heck? bat niya ako siniko? 

"So, you're the new girl of tyler huh?" mataray na sabi sa akin ni dreila.

Ano kaya ang plano ni dreila kay ishia?
